Former WWE star Chris Masters (Chris Adonis) spoke with Rewind Recap Relive on a number of topics, including potentially making a suprise WWE return at the Royal Rumble.
Masters said, โI didnโt think about it for a long time, and then about three or four years ago, I started seeing a lot of my friends come back, and I started to really kind of yearn for it and kind of try to put feelers out there, but it hasnโt come to be. I donโt know, in my mind, I think about yeah, I might get a pop, it might be kind of a cool return, but I think in the powers that beโs mind, like Hunter, for instance, in his mind, he would think that theyโve got forgotten about โThe Masterpieceโ. Itโs been too long, theyโve forgotten about โThe Masterpieceโ, nobody will care. Which I donโt know, depending on the crowd, maybe that could be the case. Maybe not a lot of people would care. But then again, maybe it would be a shock pop, like, โOh my god,โ you play the old song. I donโt know. Maybe itโd have to be in my hometown, Los Angeles [laughs].โ
On the vignettes that aired before his debut:
โThatโs the thing that makes me think I could get a pop. I think you do have a good amount of guys in the their twenties, late-twenties, early thirties, who were watching since they were kids and their peak fandom was aroundโฆI only say this too because Iโve wrestled a lot of guys on the indie scene who are in their early twenties, and theyโre very nervous about wrestling me, and then when we talk, you realize their first time seeing me, they were like six years old or whatever, they were really young. So anyways, just to say hopefully there would be enough fans of that same nature that would be like, โOh my god, are you kidding me?’โ
